Reminder: Eric Hildeman ran for the Wisconsin state assembly.

[Sue Lightning]

Someone said to make a thread about this even though i’ve posted about it like 5 times this last year.

In 2020, Eric Hildeman wanted to run for the Wisconsin state assembly, their version of the US house. He ran under the Green Party. However, he withdrew before the election. Why?

Well, to get on the ballot, you need to get signatures from people saying they would vote for you. The petition looks like this:

Looks pretty simple to me. One sheet of paper and all you have to do is walk around and find 10 people who’d vote for you. Then you print another sheet of paper.

But obviously the signature requirements must have been INSANE for Eric not to have qualified to get on the ballot, right?

Nope. He just needed 200 signatures. Two. Hundred. He couldn’t get one.

Now i’ll cut Eric a little slack here. Wisconsin law states you can’t start collecting signatures for this process until April 15, and the deadline is June 1st. I mean, who CAN find 200 people to sign a sheet of paper in 45 days? Thats like, 5 people per day! It’s not like Eric is any communities in Wisconsin where he could reasonably get 5 PEOPLE a day to sign the petition!

And ok, lets say Wisconsin just has DRACONIAN LAWS…the EVIL RED TAPE to stop grassroots candidates from running. Lets look at these EVIL laws when it comes to collecting the signatures:

A circulator certification statement must be included at the bottom of each sheet of a petition. This certification must state the following: that the circulator personally circulated the petition and personally obtained each signature included in the petition; knows that the signers are qualified electors of the district in which the petition was circulated; knows that the individuals signed the petition with full knowledge of its contents; knows the residences provided by the petition signers; knows that each signer signed on the date indicated

So essentially, Eric could have paid someone to collect these signatures for him, and as long as they weren’t a complete fucking idiot who could check if the signee wasn’t filling the form out with complete bullshit, Eric could have been on the ballot.

Eric J Hildeman could not find 200 people who would vote for him.

Problem was, the only people Eric spends time around are minors.

he must be so unlikeable. I'm pretty sure I could get 200 signatures in 1-2days just walking into the town centre & winging-it.

Or just go on some local radio show, it'll be done within the hour

 

[SFWA liaison]

I'd like to see him try again. Funsters campaigning against him and letting the entire electorate know about his exotic ideas.

Usually you can get plenty of old people to sign for you but Hildy loves to attack little old ladies over their Christian beliefs and call them stupid idiots. Plus he’s an ugly creep that defends pedos and that doesn’t help a campaign unless you’re running for president of the SFWA.

The reason he couldn’t get 200 signatures is because he is a socially awkward weirdo unable to function outside sci fi settings and, most importantly, he looks like a fucking creep.

If Hildeman asked me to sign something i’d instinctively assume it had something to do with NAMBLA, not him running for office.

It should also be noted the election he was running in was the two parties boiled down to their core to the point you would think it was parody:

The Democrats ran an African who’s legitimately a criminal and the Republicans ran a Nazi caricature of a jew.

This is who Eric was up and against and people still didn’t want him.

 

[Danrangutan 🦧]

People just assumed he was a convicted child molester who moved into the neighborhood and is forced to go door to door to confess his crimes, so no one opened the door to him. Have you seen what he looks like? Total creep vibes.

 

[Phish]

Couldn’t you just grab a phone book and write down 200 random peoples names and address and sign it for them. Noone would ever check that shit. Hildys a pedophile AND a retard

 

[Dennis Denuto]

There's not really a point in bothering to get 200 signatures when the Democrats will try to make sure you never get on the ballot (he was running for the green party and the Dems hate that) and you're never gonna win anyway.

 

[captain_kamala]

He also has a podcast no one listens to

Lol come on. Yeah i’m sure Democrats would try to contest firebrand popularity Eric Hildeman from getting on the ballot in a random state assembly seat. I mean god forbid he steals 30 votes in an election where Dems won by a 70% margin.

So ok, he could have 1000% gotten on the ballot, but you’re right, he wouldn’t have won. Why do it? Well so Eric Hildeman can say “I ran in an election and people voted for me”.

He can’t even say that. He can’t even say people signed their name to have him appear on the ballot.

Not even that they'd vote for him. Just 200 people who would say, "whatever, why not?"

Supreme Moore sounds like a black israelite

 

[Sue Lightning]

I actually now fully understand why Eric couldn’t get the signatures. The district he was trying to run in is 29% white and 61% black.

Imagine Eric Hildeman asking a black person to sign his petition.

He’s certainly a nigger.

I don't think he's ever even met a black person

Is it really worth the effort to say that?

 

[Sue Lightning]

Well yeah but only if you have a massive ego. Hildeman could add to that little resume next to author “Ran for office”.

Niggas name is literally Supreme Moore
I know of a guy people have often called the Supreme Moor, his name is Anthony Cumia.
